BELEN, N.M. (KRQE) — A 6-year-old boy’s lemonade stand was burglarized last week in Belen, New Mexico, while he was trying to raise money for a good cause. After news spread about the theft, the community stepped up and rallied around him.

Connor Brock had a goal: raise $250 to donate to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital as part of their “Lemonade Stand in July” challenge.

His parents were also raising money for Connor’s benefit: “Connor has autism level two, and we’ve used the lemonade stand not only to benefit St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital but also to teach Connor responsibility, to recognize the one dollar bill, the president on it, how to count money,” said Abbegale Brock, Connor’s mother. She wanted to teach him about things like empathy and compassion.

That all came to a halt when thieves stole snacks, drinks and equipment from the lemonade stand

Mean people.

There are a lot of them out there.

They don’t think the same way decent and kind-hearted people think.

They enjoy causing pain.

I used to think everyone had the best interests of others in their hearts and minds because, despite my many faults, I desire good for others.

I’ve learned.

Also, sometimes they are closer to us than we know.

I hope there’s a follow-up headline—’Crowds cheer as biker groups drag the a$$holes that stole money from an autisic 6-year through downtown Belen.’

If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.
